Cloning a github project

When you first start on a new web project amongst a group of people someone is likely to create a github project. Rather than then all individually creating a new project on your machine you can do the following…

1) Browse to your sites folder in Terminal. We’ll create a new folder for this new project in the next step.

2) use the command git clone git@github.com:whatever folder-name to not only clone the existing github repo, but also to create the folder you want it in
